If you could put comfort in a bowl, you'd end up with matzo ball soup. Chicken soup is legendary. This "Jewish penicillin" can conquer the common cold and, if you believe your Bubbe, can cure any hurt or illness. Add fluffy matzo balls and it's the stuff family legends are made of.
When our family first went gluten-free, we mourned the lack of matzo ball soup. Chicken soup with rice just wouldn't suffice. I tried to make gluten-free matzo balls from scratch, but instead of matzo balls we ended up with matzo lumps.
But when Passover rolled around, I found salvation. Salvation in a box.
Matzo balls contain, of course, matzo, which is made from wheat. However, some kosher for Passover brands of matzo ball mix are made from potato starch instead of matzo meal. That's because some observant Jews don't mix matzo with water during Passover, to prevent any possibility of it rising. Passover food that does not contain matzo is labeled non-gebrokts. (Gebrokts literally means "broken," referring to matzo that is broken up and mixed with water.)
As Passover approaches, you can find several brands of gluten-free matzo meal. I buy four or five boxes to last well into the year. My favorite gluten-free matzo ball mixes are Paskesz Pesach Crumbs and Lieber's Knaidel mix. (Paskesz' gluten-free "Matzo Ball Mix" sounds like it would be great, but it produces knaidlach that are gummy instead of yummy.) Update: I've decided that Lieber's Knaidel Mix makes the best gluten-free matzo balls. The recipe below follows the instructions for the Paskesz mix, so if using Lieber's follow the directions on the box.
You'll end up with perfectly round cream-colored balls that are fluffy on the outside, yet ever-so-slightly dense at the core (which, in my opinion, is a good thing). We've served them to gluten-eating friends who've asked for seconds and thirds.
To make the matzo balls, I use the recipe on the side of the box with just a few small changes. The recipe below uses Pesach Crumbs, because I can usually find those year-round in our kosher grocery store.
Some matzo ball tips: After you've made the matzo ball mixture, be sure to refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. Then enlist your kids to help roll the mixture into walnut-sized balls. However, be gentle: The more you roll the balls, the denser they will be. Set aside all the balls onto a plate. When they all are rolled and ready, drop the balls into a pot of boiling water, so they all cook for the same amount of time. Use a large pot, so the matzo balls have room to fluff up and not crowd their neighbors.
Gluten-Free Matzo Ball Soup
(gluten-free, kid-friendly, meat)
By Gluten-Free Nosh
Matzo Ball Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 4 tablespoons oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup Paskesz Pesach Crumbs
Matzo Ball Method:
- In large bowl, beat eggs until blended. (I do this by hand, not in a mixer.) Mix in oil. Mix in water, salt and pepper. Add Pesach Crumbs and mix well.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Boil 5 quarts of water and 1 teaspoon salt in a large pot.
- Take a teaspoon of matzo ball mixture and roll it between two hands into a ball slightly smaller than a walnut. Set aside on a plate, and repeat with remaining mixture.
- When all balls are ready, drop them into boiling water. Cook, uncovered, on low to medium heat for 25 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon.
Yield: 20 matzo balls
Chicken Soup Ingredients:
- 3 pounds bone-in chicken parts (dark meat is especially flavorful)
- 12 cups cold water (use 4 cups water for each pound of chicken)
- 1 onion, peeled, cut into quarters (if the onion skin is clean, you can leave the skin on to add color to the soup)
- 4 carrots, peeled, chopped into 2-inch pieces
- 2 ribs celery, chopped into 2-inch pieces (it's OK to leave the leaves on, as long as they are washed well)
- 2 parsnips, peeled and chopped into 2-inch pieces
- 1 medium turnip, peeled and cut into quarters
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and left whole
- 8 peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 bay leaves
Chicken Soup Method:
- Place chicken in large soup pot and cover with cold water.
- Bring to a low boil and skim off the scum that rises to the top. (The scum contains some nutrition from the bones. But in my opinion, anything that's called scum should be skimmed.) As soon as the soup boils, turn it down to a simmer. If you let the soup reach a rolling boil, the scum will reincorporate into the broth and you'll end up with a cloudy broth.
- After you've skimmed the scum, add the onion, carrots, celery, parsnips, turnip, garlic, peppercorns, salt and bay leaves.
- Cover the pot, and simmer on low heat for three hours.
- To strain the soup, remove the larger pieces of chicken and vegetables and set aside. Then hold a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl. Slowly pour the soup into the strainer so any vegetables and chicken remain in the strainer, and the broth collects in the bowl below (you will need at least two bowls). Take your time and do it in batches, so you don't spill any broth; it's like liquid gold.
- Separate the carrots and parsnips and refrigerate; discard the rest of the mushy vegetables or find a noble use for them. Remove the chicken pieces from bone and skin, discard bone and skin, and refrigerate chicken pieces. Refrigerate the broth separately in a bowl or glass jars. Refrigerate the broth overnight to give the fat a chance to congeal on top.
- Before serving, scrape off and discard the fat that has hardened at the top. (Don't put the fat down your drain!) Reheat soup. Ladle hot soup into individual bowls, adding a carrot piece (and, optionally, a parsnip), chicken pieces and one or two matzo balls to each bowl.
Yield: 10 to 12 servings

Tiger tops leaderboard at Torrey Pines
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Tiger Woods made one last birdie as the rain picked up strength Friday, and what he left behind was a gloomy forecast for everyone else at Torrey Pines.
He had a two-shot lead at the tournament he already has won six times.
He is driving the ball long and straight, just what he needs to handle the par 5s — he has played them in 9 under so far.
And when it comes to experience, he has a 74-0 advantage in PGA Tour wins against the next seven guys on the leaderboard.
Woods knows better than to chalk up another win in the Farmers Insurance Open, so when asked about his name atop the leaderboard after a 7-under 65 on the North Course, he was quick to point out, "We have a long way to go."
Even so, this had all the trappings of another Tiger show at Torrey Pines.
Woods didn't miss a shot during a four-hole stretch around the turn on the North Course that included a 5-iron to 5 feet for eagle and a wedge that one-hopped off the pin to set up birdie. It carried him to a two-shot lead over Billy Horschel going into the weekend.
Asked whether he played better when everything was going well in his life, Woods waited out the long question with a short answer.
"I feel good right now," said Woods, who was at 11-under 133. "I'm leading the tournament."
Horschel, who had to go back to Q-school to get his card last year, had a 69 on the South Course to get into the final group.
"It's a good day and I'm excited about tomorrow — I get to play with Tiger," Horschel said. "I found out when I tapped in for par. I realized he was leading and I was in second place. So yeah, looking forward to that."
For Woods, it was his first outright lead going into the weekend against a full field since the Australian Open in 2011 (he finished third at The Lakes), and his first time atop the leaderboard at Torrey Pines since 2008. Then again, he has only played one time at this event since then when he was just starting to change his swing.
And while this looks ominous for everyone else, Woods with a 36-hole lead — even at Torrey Pines — doesn't mean this is over. He had a 34-10 record when he has at least a share of the 36-hole lead, though he has failed to win four of the last six times from that spot.
"Vintage (at) Tiger Woods today," Dustin Johnson said on Twitter after finishing eight shots behind.
Woods caught a break in the draw by playing the easier North — it's about 600 yards shorter — on a day of light rain, a late breeze and soft conditions. But he kept the ball in play off the tee, and he only got in trouble once. That was on the par-4 eighth hole when he drove into a tough lie in the bunker, and it led to his only bogey.
There's a simple formula for playing the North — make birdie on the par 5s and pick up a few more on the short par 4s. And that's just what he did.
Woods missed birdie putts inside 8 feet on the opening two holes and was taking baby steps until he took off. It started with a 25-foot birdie putt on the 17th. He followed with the 5-iron that landed just left of the pin on the 18th, a two-putt birdie on the par-5 first hole, and his wedge that took one hop, struck the flag and settled 4 feet away.
"Drive the ball well here and you're going to probably have four iron shots into the par 5s," Woods said. "You sprinkle that in with probably four or five wedge shots in there, a round of 6- or 7-under par is definitely conceivable."
Brad Fritsch, a rookie from Canada, had a 67 on the South Course to lead the group of six players at 8-under 136. The others were Casey Wittenberg, Steve Marino, Jimmy Walker, Josh Teater and Erik Compton, whom Woods referred to as "remarkable" for being a two-time heart transplant recipient and being on the PGA Tour.
Defending champion Brandt Snedeker didn't fare so well. After opening with a 65 on the North, he made only one birdie and twice took bogey on the par 5s on his way to a 75 that left him seven shots behind. K.J. Choi, who had a 65 on the South Course, couldn't break par on the easier North and had a 73 to fall five behind.
Phil Mickelson struggled to keep his hands dry in the wet weather and finished bogey-bogey on the South for a 71 to make the cut on the number, though his work isn't over. There were 87 players who made the cut at 1-under 143, meaning there will be another cut to top 70 and ties Saturday.
Mike Weir, meanwhile, made the cut for the first time since July 2011 despite a sloppy finish for a 75 on the South. He was tied for 41st at 3-under 141.
Woods is coming off a missed cut in Abu Dhabi last week to start his year.
"I've had beautiful practice sessions at home," he said. "If I can do it there, I can do it out here. Even though last week I played only two days, I felt like I hit the ball well enough to shoot a better score than I did. I had a couple of days to work on it, and I came out here and felt pretty good about it."
The final two rounds move to the South Course, which played about 1 1/2 shots harder Friday in the rain. The greens are more receptive, sure, but the course figures to play at full length in wet conditions and at sea level.
"It was amazing how different it played from Wednesday," Walker said. "I played the pro-am here on Wednesday on the South, and you could hardly stop a ball. And today, it didn't matter if you hit a 3-iron in there, it would just stop immediately. You could spin wedges. So it was a lot different, and it played a lot longer too."
Not only have the seven players behind Woods not won on tour, four of them had to get cards this year through either Q-school or the Web.com Tour.
But with 36 holes left, more than just those seven are still in the mix. Nick Watney played the first two rounds with Woods was only four shots behind, along with Ross Fisher of England. Charles Howell III, who has tied for third and lost in a playoff in his two starts this year, had a 72 on the South and was five shots behind.
Horschel wades into a big world Saturday, but he believes he has the experience from when he played the Walker Cup in 2007 at Royal County Down.
There was a guy I competed against three times called Rory McIlroy," Horschel said. "So there may have been 10, 12,000 people following us, and only a couple thousand following the rest of the groups. So I've dealt with crowds. I guess it's a little bit easier playing with Tiger because I guess the group ahead, they move a lot or something. Just hearing what media says. It's going to be exciting."

Dwarf Fortress is one of the most complex computer games in the history of computer games. How complex? In the game's discussion forum, one player asserts that after 120 failed games, he can finally "get into the swing of things." One of his many fortress death spirals began, as the downfalls of society often do, with an immigrant dwarf who suddenly succumbed to a "secretive mood." A short time later—kaboom.
First devised by its two obsessive creators in 2002, Dwarf Fortress involves taking a band of dwarves and building them into a miniature civilization. This includes all the implied strategy and resource management: assigning jobs, collecting and storing goods, building and using structures, and eventually defending yourself against other civilizations. In a profile of the game's co-creators, the New York Times described Dwarf Fortress as "a series of staggeringly elaborate challenges and devastating setbacks."
Not only is the game complex, with endless intricacies to the controls and systems, but it's incredibly archaic-looking, especially for a game released this millennium. Its cast and environments are all rendered in colored characters of ASCII symbols (apostrophes, letters, mathematical symbols). It's a puzzle constructed in code, a throwback to games like Kroz. Calling it Dwarf Fortress is almost misleading at first—you won't see anything resembling a traditional dwarf here.
While I implicitly understood Dwarf Fortress to be difficult, I couldn't imagine why it was said to be so hard. It seemed counterintuitive to make a game so obtuse it might actually drive people away unless the developers at Bay 12 Games were the Pai Meis of game design, accepting only the most dedicated/masochistic of players. I've played complex simulation and management games before (Civilization, SimCity). I've won some endeavors and lost others, but the general structure, strategy, and type of thinking involved with these titles has always appealed to me. Could another simulation seriously be that much more difficult to understand than the ones I already knew?
There are rewards to playing a game like Dwarf Fortress: from reading the forums and articles about the game, it's clear that once you have a grasp of the mechanics, the wide-open nature of the game gives you flexibility to do more or less whatever you want. Similar to Dungeons and Dragons, once you overcome the technical execution hurdles, the only remaining major limitation is your imagination. In one account from a now-defunct site, a player builds a coliseum for holding gladiatorial goblin fights to the amusement of the kingdom's rulers; at RockPaperShotgun, one player imagines a deep history for a quiver that is used to fell a clutch of demons, and once its owner dies, the quiver kills every new dwarf that tries to claim ownership.
I decided to give the game ten hours of my life. I set a goal of doing my legit best to avoid using external guides or hints and to hold off using internal explanations unless I felt lost. I'd experiment and explore, seeing what I could ascertain from the user interface and environment and making as much progress as I could by my wits alone. And I learned one thing well: Dwarf Fortress is not a game that will hold your hand.
Disclaimer: Graphical skins and other such add-ons can make the game more palatable, but for the purposes of this piece, I attempted to play it in its original, stripped-down state. There are instructions within the game, and without in the form of wikis and forums, but I wanted to begin at the most basic level, if only to come at the game from a recently trendy (if controversial) design paradigm on discoverability that's flowed from mobile apps to many new indie games: "if you see a UI walkthrough, they blew it". This is admittedly extreme, but I wanted to begin at the bottom to let the game be its most challenging, and then work up from there.
Our hero awakens in unfamiliar typographical surroundings
As my first playthrough begins, I find that I can move around the screen, but I'm not sure to what end. As far as I can see, I'm moving from one obscure symbol to the next. Playing this game is, visually, not entirely unlike reading a quantum physics textbook. I spot some square root signs in the "distance."
My HUD, so to speak, would have me believe they are the "badlands." Here there are no trees or vegetation but the surroundings are "mirthful." It's not clear what they've done to deserve that adjective, but it's a morale high point, so far.
Options have opened up to "embark" or "find desired location." I embark, and the game warns me to prepare carefully for the journey to "Atêkirth." Possessing little knowledge of what that place is, how I will get there, or what I'll find upon arriving, I steel my nerves for the worst.
Apparently "embark" means "cease movement around the map of Greek symbols," because now the game is telling me that seven companions and I are here to make an outpost for "the glory of all Kêshshaksem." The game tells me I have no supplies and it's Spring now, but I need to get my sustenance act together "before winter entombs me." Someone's been reading too much Game of Thrones.
Now the map is punctuation marks, with a few happy faces scattered around. Ah, I think I get it—I chose a location to dig a hole in the ground, and now, having dug a hole in the ground, I have a Dwarf Fortress. So far the only narrative instructions in the game that I've gotten so far are the two words in the title.
I now have an overwhelming number of options for modifying my fortress and directing my dwarf peons. Looking at my list of residents, I see a couple of woodworkers, a couple who mainly deal with fish, and an "expedition leader." Since our expedition has just ended, I make a mental note to eat him first if our winter preparations go awry.
I lose focus and manage to send a text message to my brother about a pregnant, mutual friend and send pictures of Claire Dane's crying face to my boyfriend. I start cleaning my keyboard with a piece of sticky-tack before I remember my one true purpose: build my fortress, with dwarves. (I think.)
I realize I have an option for a military and worry that things could get serious. I further doubt the utility of an expedition leader in this game. Then I stumble into a menu where I can see the relationships my dwarves have with others. The expedition leader worships two gods but is only long-term acquaintances with his fellow dwarves. Now I worry he's not only useless, but possibly a vigilante who may be plotting my death. I discover somewhere in the menus that I have a wagon.
The only apparent action I can take is to make a burrow. I accidentally create two burrows in immediate succession. I find out I can put dwarves in them. In goes the expedition leader. Live burial.
While I was moving my smiley face icon around the screen before, I can't seem get it to do it again. I want to put burrows everywhere and put dwarves in them because that suddenly feels like enormous progress in this game. Stockholm syndrome is swift and unforgiving.
The game has been paused this whole time, so I decide to let it run to see what happens. Happy faces, d's, W's, and c's mill around on the screen. I let them run for a few minutes and then check various menus to see if there have been any fruits of the labor that may or may not have happened, theoretically represented by the busy icons moving around on the screen. I can't find anything. My dwarves may be, for all I know, dying in slow and very low-resolution motion. Time to read some instructions.

This video, made in 2005, features my mother's "baby" cousin Irving Williams and the work he and his wife, Elvira Fenton Williams, have done with the people of Tanzania, the Gambia and other developing countries.
Irving's educational accomplishments alone are impressive. After graduating from
Havre de Grace Colored High School in Maryland, he attended Morgan State, Howard University Medical School and the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health. He did a fellowship in adolescent medicine at Harvard.
He's a devoted husband to Elvira, and a loving father to his four accomplished children: Irving, Donna, Andrea and Michael. He's a super grandfather, brother, uncle and cousin.
He is funny and infectiously positive, a joy to be around.
Irving spent his early career in pediatric and adolescent medicine in Milwaukee and Boston. Then in 1974 the family went to Tanzania to help establish a pediatric sickle cell clinic for the Ministry of Health there. Inspired by that experience, he and Elvira ultimately founded Adventures in Health Education and Agricultural Development (AHEAD), Inc..
Founded in 1981, AHEAD works to reduce and eliminate disease and premature death, cultivate and advance healthy living and to foster sustainable environmental activity. The organization's programs have helped more than 1.5 million children.

Cardamom Orange Lotion by Wash the Day Away is my favorite skincare find this winter. It's unabashedly spicy with a fervid dosing of cardamom and the sharp effervescent of lime. If you love cardamom, and by this I mean the vibrant scent of freshly chopped pods, Cardamom Orange will send you into blissful olfaction as its spiciness is more akin to adventurous culinary pursuits rather than a gentle hint or suggestion of the seasoning.
Its piquantness settles after a half hour or so as the sweetness of orange becomes more apparent and the kick of cardamom and lime recede into backnotes. The hydrating properties of Cardamom Orange last much longer than that since it's loaded with powerful healers like calendula, aloe vera juice and aloe vera gel (the first three ingredients) along with shea butter and wheat germ oil (the next two ingredients).
This lotion is surprisingly light for how well it moisturizes and completely absorbs into the skin within seconds. I've been keeping my sample jar in the car for a quick fix, and can grip the steering wheel moments after application without feeling like I've greased it with butter. Kind of a silly example, but you get the point.
If you're interested in Wash the Day Away's Lotions, but cardamom isn't quite you're thing, I highly recommend the Bergamot Coriander Lotion as well. It too is redolent of kitchen spices, but it's toned down and has a floral facet thanks to the always lovely neroli. The formula of Bergamot Coriander is a tad thicker than the Cardamom Orange, but it absorbs just as quickly.
Wash the Day Away has many lotions to choose from, and Lavender Lemondrop and Warming Mandarin Rum are next on my list to try. You'll find many more enticing products at the Wash the Day Away etsy shop. Both lotions are $14.75 for an 8oz jar or $7.75 for 4oz.

Smallville Season 11 Comic Book Features Impulse and Expands its Universe
As the Smallville Season 11 comic book begins its third arc the story is about to speed up - literally. Clark Kent's old friend and teammate Bart Allen, aka the lightning-fast hero Impulse, makes his debut in the digital series in this Friday's chapter. And DC Comics has plans to expand the series, a top-selling title in both digital and print.
The new arc, "Haunted," will explore the origins of Bart's ability to run at super speed. "There's something that has been haunting Bart for some time, some baggage he's been carrying," says writer Bryan Q. Miller of the title. "Everyone in our story is being haunted - physically, metaphorically - by some element of their past."
When Bart first appeared in the TV show's fourth season episode "Run," he told Clark there was an accident and "this huge flash of light" that gave him his turbo charge. "For the first time ever we head-on address how Bart got his powers," says Miller, who was also a writer on the TV series. "Perhaps there was more to it than possibly even Bart knows."
"Haunted" will have more direct connections to the television show than Season 11's earlier stories. "It's the first time we are relying heavily on previous Smallville series history," Miller says. "This arc has many more roots in specific episodes and mythology from the series." It also continues Chloe's quest to learn more about her dopplegänger from the parallel universe of Earth 2, as well as Lex's attempts to fill in the blanks of his amnesia.
"So industrious was Lex at covering his own tracks, that he hid the information from himself," Miller says. He's been harassed by his subconscious memory of his half-sister Tess, who he killed in the TV finale just as she drugged him with a mind-erasing drug. "Tess' memories are that last bastion of him. This is his last desperate attempt to find out the man he was before the amnesia, and also to find out what she knows - that he presumably also knew - about Superman."
Smallville Season 11 is published digitally three Fridays a month (and later collected in print editions). Starting Friday, Jan. 4, a new series of parallel adventures will be published digitally on the title's off-week. The first arc, "Effigy" features a team-up with John Jones, aka the Martian Manhunter (another recurring guest star on the TV show), and Batman, who made his Smallville universe debut in Season 11's most recent storyline. "These are stories that will help fill in the rest of our world while Clark is busy on his main adventure," Miller says. "The first four off-weeks will be 'Effigy.' It gives everyone a chance to keep that Smallville machine rolling every week."
Smallville Season 11 is available for download at readdcentertainment.com, the iBookstore, Nook Store and Kindle Store. For an exclusive first look at the first chapter of "Haunted," click here.

Bulldogs fall twice in home tri
The Ionia boys wrestling team fought through injuries and illness Wednesday night in their final home matches of the regular season.
With multiple veteran athletes out of the line up, Bulldog coach Bill Rogers filled the spots he could with many of his younger wrestlers. Despite a strong effort from those dressed, Ionia suffered a pair of losses in the triangular match.
"We've got guys out sick and injured, so we were kind of thin tonight," Rogers said. "So we had a youthful group going up against guys with a lot of experience.
"We wrestled a lot better than we did last week. The kids were very aggressive and I appreciate that. We have been working hard all week on wrestling aggressively."
Ionia opened the triangular match against Capital Area Activities Conference Red rival Owosso. With the Ionia voids and a few pinfall wins, the Trojans were able to pick up a 66-18 victory.
Freshman Steven Pettit (125 pounds) and sophomore Jordan Zamarron (135 pounds) both earned pins, while 103-pound freshman Jordan Richardson won by void.
After Charlotte defeated Owosso 50-21, the Orioles took on the Bulldogs in the final match of the night, defeating the host team 87-18.
Richardson picked up his second win of the night, this time by pinfall at 103 pounds. Freshmen Dylan Wolthuis (140) and Hunter Meyers (145) picked up victories by forfeit.
Ionia (8-14) will send its JV wrestlers to Lakeview on Friday night for an invitational tournament, while the varsity athletes will compete there on Saturday.

George Watts enters his sixth year as Director of ETSU Track & Field/Cross Country, having assumed his post on August 9, 2012.
In his first two seasons at ETSU, Watts led the Bucs to two top-three finishes -- both men and women -- at the Atlantic Sun Conference Cross Country Championships. He also helped the Blue & Gold place among the top three at the league track & field championships -- both indoor and outdoor -- during both years. On October 31, 2014, Watts guided the men to a runner-up finish in their first appearance at the Southern Conference Cross Country Championships since 2004. During his tenure at ETSU, the veteran coach has overseen the establishment of 17 new school records in track & field and also coached five Honorable Mention All-Americans, two Second-Team All-American selections, and two Capital One Academic All-America appointments.
Watts came to ETSU after 26 years coaching and assisting track & field and cross country at the University of Tennessee. Watts began his Tennessee career in 1985, serving as the assistant coach for men's cross country and track & field until 1992. From 1992-95, Watts became the administrative assistant before being named assistant head coach of men's track & field, and head coach of men's cross country. He served in that role until 2009, and was then named associate head coach for men's and women's track & field, while maintaining his position for the cross country team.
"We're very fortunate to have someone of Coach Watts' experience and background to become the second Director of ETSU Track & Field," said ETSU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dave Mullins. "We have a great tradition in track & field and cross country, particularly with our distance runners. Coach Watts has coached distance runners at the highest level – at the SEC, nationally and several Olympians. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our program, and we feel very confident he will set a high standard and direct it in a first class way."
In his time at Tennessee, Watts directed the Vols to NCAA Outdoor Championships in 1991 and 2001, as well as an NCAA Indoor title in 2002. He has also been a mainstay for success in the SEC, helping lead the Vols to 11 conference championships, coaching athletes to 18 individual titles and 42 All-American honors. At the Olympic level, Watts has coached athletes to berths in the last five Olympic Games Teams.
In 2006, Watts led three Tennessee athletes to the NCAA Outdoor Championships in three different events. At the end of the season, he was recognized by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) as the Mideast Region Male Assistant Coach of the Year in distances. Watts' coaching accolades also include him being named South Region Coach of the Year for cross country in 2002, and being recognized as South Region Co-Coach of the Year in 2001. In 1995, he won District III Coach of the Year honors.
In addition to tutoring the Volunteers, Watts continued to work with steeplechaser Anthony Famiglietti, as well as other Olympic, World and USA ranked athletes. He directed Jebreh Harris to a third-place finish at the U.S. Outdoor Championships in 2006, and also mentored Harris who ran the first leg on the American-record breaking 4x800 relay team in 2006. Prior to his Olympic appearances, Famiglietti won the 2002 USA outdoor title and 2001 World University Games under Watts' instruction. Watts also worked with Tennessee alum Todd Williams – a 1992 and 1996 Olympian, and 10,000m school record- holder – during his professional career.
A 1983 graduate of Tennessee, Watts secured many honors and awards while running track and cross country for the Vols. He earned Cross Country All-American status in 1977, before earning Indoor All-American praise for the three mile run in 1978. His athletic career at Tennessee also includes four SEC championships, winning the three and six mile in 1976, the 10,000m in 1977, and the three mile in 1978. Watts earned the title of USA Junior Champion for the 10,000m in 1976, and is also the freshman indoor two mile and three mile, as well as the freshman outdoor 10,000m all-time record holder at Tennessee. His three mile time in the 1978 SEC Indoor meet is still the school record.
Watts and his wife, Karen, have a daughter, Katie.

Candice Tells All: Massive reno opens up kitchen, dining and living rooms
Brixton and his son, baby Griffin, live in a gorgeous old heritage home. Although it has a lot of overall space, the house — like many other dwellings of yore — was challenged by a really choppy layout. Back in the day, all the cooking was done in work spaces that were often segregated from the rest of the house. Heaven forbid that guests should see the inner workings of the kitchen!
Fast forward to 2013, and it's a whole different story. Brixton wants an open-concept design, one that will allow him to cook dinner while keeping an eye on the baby, who is two rooms away. The solution? Well, let's just say it involves sledgehammers and a lot of elbow grease.
To open up the entire first floor, we knocked down two walls, between the kitchen and dining room, and between the dining room and living room. Now, with old houses, you never know what you're going to find when the dust starts flying, and this was no exception. Brixton's house is heated by hot-water radiators; and, unfortunately, we discovered that the pipes were actually routed through the wall separating the living and dining rooms. Moving those pipes wasn't part of the plan, but I managed to tweak the design slightly by adding an elegant archway that concealed the lines, while still opening up the sightline from kitchen right through to living room.
This was a massive project: a complete reno of the main floor. To make things even more challenging, it had to be done before Brixton's mom returned from a trip to the Philippines. Let's just say that Mom is very involved in Brixton's life, and would have insisted on being in the thick of this reno, had she known about it in advance. As it was, we were on a very tight timeline with absolutely no time to waste.
After we opened up the walls, turning three separate rooms into one big space, it was time to rebuild. The kitchen is the crowning glory of this renovation, so I was very careful to select cabinetry, appliances and finishes that are modern, yet pay homage to this home's historical flavor. Modern new white cabinets are fronted by opaque, antique glass that picks up on the diamond shape of the tile backsplash, while also providing contrast and a traditional touch.
I selected some functional yet stylish appliances for Brixton's new kitchen: a spacious fridge with pull-out bottom freezer, both concealed behind cabinet doors; a professional-grade gas stove topped by a custom fume hood in a gorgeous oil-rubbed, hammered bronze finish; and a very cool microwave in a slide-out drawer.
A peninsula provides more prep space while accommodating an extra-large sink and counter seating for two. Three pendant lights are suspended over the peninsula to provide additional illumination, while recessed lighting in the ceiling and under-cabinet lights brighten up this space even more and highlight the backsplash tile.
Brixton's dining table and chairs are special family heirlooms and they had to stay — but even though I left the table alone, I completely changed the look of the chairs by refinishing them in a crisp white and updating the upholstery. The backs are now covered in a stylish striped fabric, while the seats are finished in a luxurious black with nailhead-trim detail.
The ugly dining-room radiators were concealed behind built-in cabinetry that also provides additional storage, as well as a ledge to display photos, plants or other pieces. A stunning 10-light chandelier finished in antique silver leaf with crystal accents takes pride of place above the table, and the finishing touch is a brand-new, stylish black high chair for little Griffin.
And finally, we move into the living room, where the old fireplace was treated to a stylish new face-lift and flanked by built-in bookcases. A flat-panel TV is mounted on the wall above the fireplace, and a comfortable sofa and two retro-inspired armchairs offer plenty of seating.
An upright piano calls one corner of the living room home; and, once again, radiators are concealed behind more cabinetry. Custom draperies adorn the room's two windows. Neutral colors and soft whites feature strongly throughout this space, but bolder color makes an appearance, too, in the wall color of the living room, the table and piano's wood tones, in the chairs' upholstery, and in draperies and throw pillows.
Brixton got the design he wanted, and Griffin can run free while remaining under Dad's watchful eye. Best of all, when Brixton's mom came home and got over the shock, she loved it, too. In fact, she loved it so much that she told Brixton she wanted to move in. Hmmm. Now, that wasn't part of the plan.
But, as any designer will tell you, you have to be prepared for any contingency during a project of this scope. I wonder if Brixton needs my help with an in-law suite?

American, US Airways announce $11 billion merger
DALLAS — American Airlines and US Airways agreed Thursday to merge in an $11 billion deal that would create the world's biggest airline.
The combined carrier will be called American Airlines and be based in Fort Worth. It expects to have $40 billion in annual revenue and offer more than 6,700 daily flights to 336 destinations in 56 countries.
The deal is a coup for smaller US Airways Group Inc., and was driven by the persistence of its CEO, Doug Parker, who will run the combined airline. Parker sought a merger almost as soon as American parent AMR Corp. filed for bankruptcy protection in November 2011.
As Parker pushed ahead, creditors forced AMR's management to consider the value of a merger compared with a plan for an independent American. Eventually they concluded that the best return for stakeholders, and the best chance to compete with bigger rivals United Airlines and Delta Air Lines, came from a merger.
The deal also caps turbulent half-decade of bankruptcies and consolidation for the U.S. airline industry.
Since 2008, Delta gobbled up Northwest, United absorbed Continental and Southwest bought AirTran Airways. If this latest merger goes through, American, United, Delta and Southwest will control about three-quarters of U.S. airline traffic.
The rapid consolidation has allowed the surviving airlines to offer bigger route networks that appeal to high-paying business travelers. And it has allowed them to limit the supply of seats, which helps prop up fares and airline profits.
The merger, expected to close in this year's third quarter, will reduce the number of major U.S. airlines to four: the new American, United, Delta and Southwest. That concerns some consumer advocates, but Parker sought to assure travelers that the merger helps them too — by creating a bigger rival to United and Delta.
"While you're right — you end up with four large airlines — the reality is there are two very large airlines right now and this creates a third," Parker said in an interview. "It provides good competition to those two."
Most airline mergers have resulted in a reduction of flights and shrinkage at some hubs, but Parker said this deal will be different because US Airways and American overlap on just 12 routes.
He said the new airline will keep all of American's hubs — Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago, Miami, New York and Los Angeles — and those of US Airways, in Phoenix, Charlotte and Philadelphia. Many airline mergers have resulted in some hubs being downgraded, as happened to Cincinnati after Delta bought Northwest.
While Parker becomes CEO of the combined company, AMR CEO Tom Horton will serve as chairman until its first shareholder meeting, likely in mid-2014. Parker becomes chairman after Horton leaves.
The boards of both companies approved the deal Wednesday. Executives said they were confident that antitrust regulators would approve the merger.
Shares of US Airways fell 31 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $14.34 in premarket trading.
AMR creditors will own 72 percent of the new company, with the remaining 28 percent will going to US Airways shareholders. The creditors' portion includes a 23.6 percent share for American employees and unions, plus a small stake for existing shareholders of American's parent AMR Corp.
The airlines said they expect $1 billion in combined benefits from the merger. They expect the bigger airline to lure corporate travelers away from competitors, contributing to $900 million in additional revenue. They also anticipate cost savings of roughly $150 million.
They expect to spend $1.2 billion on transition costs over the next three years.
Travelers on American and US Airways won't notice immediate changes. It likely will be months before the frequent-flier programs are combined and years before the two airlines are fully integrated.
The companies had negotiated since August, when creditors pushed AMR to conduct merger talks so they could decide which earned them a better return: a merger or an independent American.
The deal would need approval by AMR's bankruptcy judge and antitrust regulators.
The new American would have more than 900 planes and about 95,000 employees, not counting regional affiliates. It will be slightly bigger than United Airlines by passenger traffic, not counting regional affiliate airlines.
The combination will boost American's service to Europe and the Latin America-Caribbean market. But some analysts noted that the new American will still be weak on routes to Asia.
"Without a major Pacific presence (just a mere five destinations and eight routes), American doesn't come close to either Delta or United's presence in the market," Helane Becker, airlines analyst for Dahlman Rose & Co., wrote Thursday in a note to clients.
The new board of directors will have 12 members: Three from American, including Horton; four from US Airways, including Parker; and five appointed by American's creditors.
AMR shareholders are poised to get a 3.5 percent stake in the new airline. That's unusual because stockholders typically get wiped out in a Chapter 11 proceeding.
Horton said AMR's bankruptcy creditors might be repaid in full. He said his company cut costs, reduced debt and moved ahead with orders for new planes during the bankruptcy process, increasing AMR's value to US Airways.
That, he said, "allowed us to make a deal with US Air that was on the right terms for American and our people."

Lily Bloom's Kitchen won a 2010 Best New Product award at this year's Kosherfest. Intrigued that a specialty Passover product should be deemed that good, when it's not even close to Pessach, I decided to try the company's confections. When I saw a heretofore unfamiliar hechsher symbol on the boxes…I went over to the CRC booth to inquire about this symbol I was told that Blue Ribbon Kosher's Administrator is Rabbi Baruch Meir Clein, from Minneapolis, MN and that its hechsherim are reliable and fully accepted by the CRC.
I've never been a macaroon fan, and the few times I've condescended to have one or two were only on Passover, if… nothing else was available. These were good, however!
Lily Bloom's Kitchen was founded in Minneapolis in 2009, by Larry Shiller to honor his mother who had just died at the age of 98. Why the macaroons? As the Minneapolis – St. Paul Star Tribune put it this past July 18th:
Of all the chocolate-laden treats Larry Shiller remembers his mother making, her chocolate macaroons were his very favorite.
[…] Shiller rediscovered his mother's macaroion recipe in a box of recipes he sent to his wife shortly after he moved to Minnesota.
After developing additional flavors and going into production, he now hopes to get national recognition and distribution for his macaroons. He envisions one day opening Lily Bloom's Kitchen storefronts around the country…
The macaroons retail for $12.95 to $14.95. They come in four assortments, each sold by the dozen:
- White Chocolate and Raspberry Collection
- Premier Assortment (4 All Chocolate, 4 Chocolate/Cherry and 4 Chocolate/Orange)
- Chocolate Spice Assortment (6 All Chocolate and 6 Chocolate/Cinnamon)
- Nutty Assortment (4 Chocolate/Almond, 4 Chocolate/Walnut, 4 Chocolate/Peanut Butter)
I liked their White Chocolate/Raspberry Collection a lot (they paired perfectly with the dessert wine we were sipping!) and can't wait until these delicacies make their way to the local shelves here in Brooklyn.

Tom Jacobs, on Miller-McCune has a helpful summary, titled "Fearing Death? Think Progress," of fascinating research on terror management theory. Here are some excerpts.
* * *
[M]ost of us cling to the notion of human progress, insisting that our children will inhabit a more just society, or that our own contribution will make the world a better place. Why? Three social psychologists from the University of Amsterdam have come up with a reason: It makes it easier to accept the reality of our own deaths.
Not unlike religious faith, "belief in progress provides a protective existential buffer," according to a paper just published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. Expanding on the ideas of Terror Management Theory, lead author Bastiaan T. Rutjens argues that the belief in progress, which can be traced back to such Enlightenment thinkers as Voltaire and Hume, is "a secular faith" that is "one way of pervading our world with meaning."
The researchers tested this thesis with three experiments. In the first and most central of these, 33 female participants wrote a short essay describing their thoughts and feelings about one of two subjects: dental pain, or their own deaths. After performing several additional tasks, they read an essay arguing that human progress is an illusion.
Finally, they were asked a series of questions to determine the extent to which they agreed with the anti-progress argument. Those who had thought about their own mortality were significantly less likely to accept the argument than those who had opined about toothaches.
The researchers consider this particular defense mechanism a reasonably healthy psychological response. After all, they note, previous studies have found that when people are confronted with their own mortality, "they tend to rate individuals with different cultural beliefs as less intelligent" in an attempt to forge a feeling of solidarity with people of their own ethnicity or nationality.

(NEWSER) – An Illinois woman who shared photos of her eye-catching new dress on Facebook was arrested after the pics caught the eye of people who knew the boutique she had allegedly stolen it from. Police say Amanda Saxton, 27, shared the photos just a few hours after stealing a distinctive leopard-pattern dress and other items and still had stolen clothes in her hand when officers arrived at her home.
A co-owner of the store in the small town of West Frankfort says he posted about the theft on Facebook and users who saw the posting quickly made the connection with Saxton's photo, the AP reports. "Her excuse was there was nobody in here," he tells WSIL. "We were in the back working, and that she could just take it. You know, not really much of an excuse there."

SBP(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual SBP(4) NAME sbp -- Serial Bus Protocol 2 (SBP-2) Mass Storage Devices driver SYNOPSIS kldload firewire kldload cam kldload sbp or device sbp device firewire device scbus device da device cd device pass DESCRIPTION The sbp driver provides support for SBP-2 devices that attach to the FireWire (IEEE 1394) port. It should work with SBP-2 devices which the CAM layer supports, for example, HDDs, CDROM drives and DVD drives. Some users familiar with umass(4) might wonder why the device is not de- tached at the CAM layer when the device is unplugged. It is detached only if the device has not been plugged again during several bus resets. This is for preventing to detach an active file system even when the de- vice cannot be probed correctly for some reason after a bus reset or when the device is temporary disconnected because the user changes the bus topology. If you want to force to detach the device, run "fwcontrol -r" several times or set hw.firewire.hold_count=0 by sysctl(8). Some (broken) HDDs do not work well with tagged queuing. If you have problems with such drives, try "camcontrol [device id] tags -N 1" to dis- able tagged queuing. SEE ALSO cam(4), firewire(4), camcontrol(8), fwcontrol(8), kldload(8), sysctl(8) AUTHORS The sbp driver was written by Katsushi Kobayashi and Hidetoshi Shimokawa.

Today in the news: Russian adoption ban won't start until 2014
News to know
The Russian ban of US adoptions will not take effect until 2014, CNN reports. The law was signed by Vladimir Putin in late December, and was originally set to start on Jan. 1. Officials have announced that the termination clause in the U.S.-Russian adoption agreement states that the agreement does not end until one year after termination.
A spokesperson from the US State Department said that while they are unsure if any new adoptions will be approved during the next year, they are hopeful that adoptions that had begun before the law was passed will be completed.
Quote of note
"Our nation continues to face immense challenges, and the American people expect us to work together in the new year to find meaningful solutions. This will require a willingness to seek common ground as well as presidential leadership. For that reason, the Congress and the Nation would welcome an opportunity to hear your plan and specific solutions for addressing America's great challenges." - House Speaker John Boehner, in a letter to President Barack Obama formally inviting him to deliver the State of the Union address.
